I'm sorry, but Apple was hacked. There are multiple layers to security. Even the physical security of the building counts. If you have a terrible, easy to crack security system like "What is your first pet's name?" and y

This is classic America. There is a single issue out the millions of people that fly day in and day out and we're discussing policy change.

I honestly don't understand your position. This was data that was being charged for before, now as a service to their customers they aren't charging for it. This is an attempt to gain more customers, it's not charging extra f

I think one of the most interesting things about weed is that it makes some people more relaxed and some people more anxious. It's bizarre that the same drug could have totally opposite reactions. I wonder if the anxiety comes from the

There is literally not a single sentence of "constructive feedback" in that post. Just a post being a typical HN complainer about how since it's not perfect it won't work. He did offer his thoughts on the "best case

This is such an HN reply. Tear everything to shreds. Who cares if it "would be useful in a limited subset of cases where the tremor resembles another condition known as essential tremor"? Seriously, no one is forcing you to buy on

I'm not commenting on the study, I'm commenting on the reaction to the study. The reaction would be much more tame and reserved if it were on a subject that people didn't love to hate. The authors of the study and the study i

I love the anti-science bias of people against the gluten-free trend. You're telling me if an article came out that showed a study with a sample size of 37 people found that marijuana was incredibly harmful we would see the same "

Those don't matter and what you are doing is generalizing lots of groups of people which is something I assume you would be against. What matters is individuals. Some gay people don't mind jokes about being gay, some do. Some wome

In practice, when it comes to antibiotics you are correct. But lets be honest, quality meat isn't always an option, especially going out to a restaurant, so the solution in reality is to eat less meat. There's also things like lan

In his book "Eating Animals" Jonathan Safran Foer dedicates a lot of time to this. Remember, he is not a vegan. This shouldn't be important but there are few groups that get more irrational hate than vegans. He cites multiple

I think you either misread my comment or I wasn't clear. Obviously you are correct, it's not that your personal resistance will increase, it's your actions that contribute to the overall resistance.

In America, the number one thing you can do is stop eating factory farmed meat. That is a huge contributor to antibiotics resistance. Either eat mainly vegan or spend the few extra dollars to buy meat that isn't gross. Remember, it is

One thing I can't stand is about our hyper-partisan culture is that attacking someone from one side is seen as 100% political and there are posts like these that are trying to be "even" when, in fact, it's you yourself t

Just to add to your second point, one of the reason that time moves faster is that, in a sense, it is moving faster. When you're 10, a whole year is increasing your life by 10%. That's a huge percentage of your life. By the time y

Because I would just uninstall those window managers and install i3. For me, i3 is just so vastly superior to the others, there is no reason to use anything else right now.

One of the benefits of Linux is it's easy to customize. I like to install Ubuntu and the first thing I do is get rid of Unity. I prefer i3. I still benefit from the vast amount of repositories and the large community Ubuntu has. Unity

You're argument is that it's literally impossible that Bill does something like this just for fun. Yes, PR is a real thing, but lighten up. You have no idea if what you just said was true.

Is there any evidence that AirBNB rented rooms increase the spread of bed bugs, crime, and dangerous people? As an interesting counterpoint here, it's legal to let someone crash on your couch, but the second you ask a dollar from them

That's the PR response. While there is truth to it, surely there is an element of entrenched industries using their money and power to protect themselves.
